Hey everyone! I'm Kexin, founder of Sparky - a lean studio focused on building better tools for everyday life.

I got fed up paying for scattered apps - notes here, todos there, habits somewhere else. Why should my life be split across 7+ different subscriptions? And while I love Notion, it feels too complex and stressful rather than helpful.

So I'm building something different - Sparky, a unified personal AI tool that actually makes life simpler, not more complicated.

Excited to be here and see all the amazing products launching on PH! Looking forward to connecting with fellow builders
